Work is being prosecuted faithfully on
the Hauser and Cleveland lode on Camp
Greek. The property is owned by the Lar
mour Brothers, Julian Smith, James n.
Boyce, Jr., John r. Curtis and Green Ma
jors, all OF this city. Assays from tnis

valuable property as the development
work has hitherto paid all expenses and
cleared q dividend to the owners.
THE
mine, which adjoins the Wabash on the
west, one mile north OF Walkerville, belongs
to Messrs. Mead. Curtis and Majors. A
new strike was made on this property
about q week ago by Mr.. Mead, which came
about in the following manner: -Four
months ago the mine a leased to a man
named Ham. He trenched on the surface
for about eighty feet to find the ledge, with
out any result, and, after three months
f~ruitless search, he quit in disgust. Mr.
Mead was on the ground q week ago, and,
taking up a pick, went into the trench at q
venture, and, striking it in the ground, IN q
few blows discovered what is believed to be
the apex of the ledge. He, brought away
with him some fine samples OF free-mill'ng
quartz that will run very high in green and
yellow chlorides. The property had beer
worked west OF where the recent discovery
was made some time ago and assays Of
the ore made, showing 871 ounces. The
work OF development oD the new find will
be begun and prosecuted without delay.
